I think my PS made a mistake at removing the hump in my nose,he left me with a low curved inward bridge,like a ski launch pad.my nose has no dorsum projection and my bulbous tip (maybe due to supratip and pollybeak)is now the center of attention and also my nose looks too feminine for my face. How can my PS solve the problem he created? Do i need more tip definition or more cartilage in the bridge? Is this considered a saddle nose or ski jump deformity?

Restrictions after nasal surgery are related both to grafts that are placed along the bridge, as well as whether or not the nasal bones were broken during the procedure. Most cartilage grafts placed in the bridge have healed solid in about 4 weeks. However, bones take about 6-8 weeks to heal...
